三、阅读理解

A

Paula Radcliffe, chasing(角逐)a third London marathon title(冠军),says she has become a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.

Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care about criticism(批评).”

“In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”

She didn’t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.

“Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn’t spoken to me last year and if she really cared for me, I’m sure she would have contacted(联系)me.”

Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.

“In New York I wasn’t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.”

Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday’s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.

However, Radcliffe has not ruled out(排除)in the future chasing her “final” world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.

“I don’t think that---although I can’t put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.”

Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.

Radcliffe clocked a time 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometre race three years ago.

Afterwards she set a “mixed course” mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.

31. Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her ______.

A. face criticism calmly B. rest for five months

D. Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.

33. By saying “I can’t put a number on it “ , Radcliffe means she’s not sure ______.

A. if she has the ability to set a new world record

B. if she can win another race though she has won many times

C. how many times a marathon runner can set the world record

D. if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times

Athens will welcome the 2004 Olympic Games with open arms. Not only will the Games be returning to their birthplace, but they’ll also be entering a new period of Olympic history.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been looking for ways to make the world’s largest sporting event a bit smaller and easier for cities to host. Mexico is the only Latin American nation to have hosted the Olympics. And the games have never been held in Africa.

It costs well over$4 billion t host the Olympic Games. And this is stopping many poorer countries from trying to win the bid. Cities in Africa and Latin America, with great social and money problems, cannot even begin to make the bid.

So, the IOC has suggested 117 ways to make the Games smaller and easier for cities across the world. These ideas are to be put into practice soon---maybe in time for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The IOC wants to save up to $400 million.

The suggestions include limiting the number of sports to 28 and the number of athletes to 10,500.

“Imagine a bus with 28 seats and some sports need to get off to give their places to other sports,”said an IOC official. Sports that might not appear in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games included baseball, softball and the modern pentathlon(五项全能)(shooting, fencing, horse, jumping, swimming and running).

“We think that the Olympic Games have to be made smaller, and the less costly so that they can be organized by all continents and subcontinents(次大陆),”said IOC president Jacques Rogge.

“Our dream is that a continent such as Africa will be able to organize the Olympic Games.”

36. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. The Olympic Games have to be made smaller and less costly

B. The Olympic Games have to increase the number of sports.

C. The Olympic games have to increase the number of athletes.

D. The Olympic Games have to enlarge their global attraction.

37. From the passage, we can know that the Olympics have been held in four continents EXCEPT ____________.

A. Asia B. America C. Europe D. Africa

38. The events which are most probably limited include ______ according to the passage.

A. basketball, baseball and football

B. baseball, softball and volleyball

C. softball, baseball and the modern pentathlon

D. softball, fencing and pentathlon

39. The purpose of writing the article is to ______.

A. think highly of the Athens Olympic Games

B. make many poorer countries be able to organize the Olympics.

C. increase the events of the Athens Olympic Games

D. make Athens enter a new period of Olympic history

四、阅读表达

Many students want to find friends on the Internet as a way of practising their language skills and learning more about new cultures.
